An unsealed criminal complaint reported a wiretapped conversation with al-Saadi shortly after the March 10 shooting, claiming “our people” were responsible for the attack as well as another one on “the Knesset,” which appears to be a reference to a Toronto synagogue that was fired on around the same time.
“On behalf of the Embassy of Israel in Canada I express my deepest condolences to the family, loved ones and colleagues of Police Constable Marc Pinizzotto, who was killed in the line of duty while serving the community and investigating the shootings at multiple Toronto Synagogues and the U.S. Consulate,” Israel’s ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed said in an X post on Friday.
Toronto police have not confirmed whether the raid Thursday morning was tied to any synagogue shootings or whether any of the suspects had ties to Iran or the IRGC.
